Leipzig's Communist Past: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
Overview
Step behind the Iron Curtain and explore the "City of Heroes" on your own terms with this self-guided audio tour. Using your smartphone and the VoiceMap app, you will walk Leipzig’s vibrant medieval center while peeling back layers of history to reveal life under the East German regime in the 1980s.
Guided by immersive narration that triggers automatically via GPS at the right time and place, you will retrace the steps of the brave protesters who defied the Stasi secret police. From the ominous Museum in der Runden Ecke—the former Stasi headquarters—to the inspiring Nikolaikirche, you will hear stories of fear, courage, and the "People Power" that helped tear down the Berlin Wall.
This tour offers total flexibility, allowing you to start anytime, pause for photos, and explore at your own pace. Highlights include the Gewandhaus, Oper Leipzig, Mädler-Passage, Thomaskirche, and the ancient Moritzbastei. Simply download the tour, plug in your headphones, and let the history unfold.
